Anyway, sabbats are just pagan holidays. There are 8 main holidays on the traditional Wheel of The Year. Each holiday has to do with seasonal changes; the coming of winter, spring, summer and fall, and the midway points between each. The way I'll be celebrating them is in a form of naturalist paganism, paganism without the supernatural. In theistic pagan circles, Beltane and Samhain are times when the barriers between the afterlife and Earth are weakened; Beltane makes them easier to contact while Samhain make it easier for them to contact us. As I don't believe in an afterlife, I'll just set aside time to revere the dead.

Yeah, I'm also curious about the idea of revering the dead, from your naturalist perspective.

I'm Catholic, so I certainly honour the saints, but that's only because I believe they're alive in heaven. It must be a completely different type of reverence that you hold though. Can you explain a little more what you mean by that?
